LXXXVIII. † Tinctura O∣pii Composita; seu, Lau∣danum Liquidum, Tincture of Opium Compound.

℞ Nutmegs, Saffron, A▪ p. ij. Castoreum p. j. Spirit of Wine, q. s. mix and distil. A smaller weak Spirit may suffice, and therefore you may mix two or three parts of Wa∣ter to one of the distilled Spirit, and being thus mixt, you must dissolve your Opium in it, so much as may sufficiently satu∣rate it.

Salmon.] § 2. Let your Opium be crude and not tor∣refied, for that dissipates its best and most volatile parts; and the Water you mix with the Spirit ought to be May∣dew or Rain-water at least, because impregnated with a volatile, nitrous, astral qua∣lity.

§ 3. The reason why Wa∣ter is mixt with the Spirit for Extraction, is because Opium consisting of many Aqueous Particles, is the more easily dissolved in such a Menstru∣um as is homogeneous with it, which being joyned in a due proportion with a Spirituous Menstruum, is made able to extract all the good and es∣sential parts of the Opium.

§ 4. It is a good Cordial if given with cordial things, and is chiefly used to pacifie the irritated Spirits, provoke Sleep, stop Catarrhs, and violent Coughs, stay the im∣moderate fluxes of the Belly, and to sweeten the Acrimony of Humors.

§ 5. It is used after gene∣ral Remedies against Deflu∣xions upon the Brest and Lungs, Vapors, and Hyste∣rick Fits, to appease the Tor∣ments of the Gout, and ease other internal Pains, inward∣ly taken, and outwardly ap∣plied. Dose à gut. 10. ad 20.

§ 6. Modus Utendi. ℞ Blackcherry-water ℥iiij. Syrup of Poppies ℥ss. of this Tincture à gut. 10 ad 20. Powers of Amber à gut. 20 ad 40. mix for a Dose, against Vapors and Fits of the Mother. ℞ Aquae Lactis ℥iiij. Syrup of Poppies ℥ss. of this Tincture à gut. 10 ad 30. mix for a Dose, against the Gout, and to procure Rest.
